Spectacular modernist architecture highlights breathtaking views from nearly every room in this spacious and timeless estate designed by Vitus Matare'. With gorgeous slate and beech wood floors throughout, the home's enormous window walls command a panorama of mountains, ocean, and the distant lights of Palos Verdes. The step-down living room, with high ceilings, a built-in wet bar, and sweeping views, shares a double-sided fireplace with the dining room, which opens onto a full-width ocean-view deck with ample room for dining, lounging, and entertaining. Beyond the dining room, and also opening to the deck, is a beautiful family/dining/sitting room with slate floors and double-height ceilings. The kitchen, which has a skylight and a dining-room overlook, has gorgeous millwork, granite countertops, an island with bar seating, and top-of-the-line appliances as well as a walk-in pantry. On the upper level, along with four bedrooms, there is a large, open loft space that could be an office, yoga studio, game room, or media lounge. The bedrooms include a sensational owner's bedroom complete with high ceilings, huge window walls facing the views, beech wood floors, a sitting area, dual walk-in closets, a spacious ocean-view bath, and a lovely private balcony. Equipped with central air conditioning and solar, the residence has a two-car garage plus a large, ocean-view lawn for entertaining, recreation, and, potentially, a pool. Lush palms and other tropical plantings give this well-designed Eastern Malibu architectural estate the atmosphere of a vacation getaway.
